Hello all. I'm having a bit of a problem and before I jump the gun and spend money, Im hoping you all can help me solve this issue. When I go to check my tire pressure in the display, the front right says XX, front left says 00 and the two rear are completely blank with no letters or numbers. Now the front left has no TPMS in it because I took it out and will put it back in shortly. Which ones are dead? The one with XX or the two rears that are blank? Or do they all just need to be reprogrammed? If it helps, it's an 07 ZO6. Thanks all.

 

no idea. em/pm Bob, "BEZ06"

 

Sounds like you might have a dead one or two. If the DIC is NOT warning you it might be the TPMS computer itself. It should be warning you.

BEZ06 (Bob) is the 'go-to guy' regards this topic.

 

If I am not mistaken the TPSM each have a small battery in them and they die over a period of time. I just had new tires put on my car and asked the tire installer if they needed replacing and he said he has seen them last normally 5-8 years depending on their state when installed. Havent done the research on this, but just going off what they told me. Maybe check the batteries?

 

Batteries are integral to the unit - can't be changed. If the TPMS is bad then the only solution is to replace.

BTW - The TPMS on my C5 2001 are still going strong after all that time. The ones on my 2010 GS have had to be changed (one wheel) once.

 

The batteries are designed to last 10 years....so some will go 10+ years while other will crap out at 7-8 years. The latter from my experience is the norm. I have a old GMC Truck and those pooped out starting at 7 year mark....one and six months later another.

I also have a Yukon and same began to happen so when I had new tires mounted I told them all new sensors.

They installed aftermarket sensors and one did not last 8 months and then at 12 months another. I kept taking it back because of the warning in DIC and told them on the third time around I wanted something done because I even took the Yukon for it's big service and they check3ed everything. So Discount Tire ordered GM p/n sensors and I have NOT had any issues since.

It depends on year model Vette which sensor your going to need. It's not very oftem the monitoring computer goes bad, normally it's the sensor.

If you have had them relearned and still issue, I would say sensors need rplaced. If the car will NOT go into learn mode, then have the tire monitor computer checked out. Because Vettes are affected differently than regular cars when a sensor is not functioning.

Add: look up BEZ06's posts/vids....he does EXCELLENT job explaining it ALL. Or PM him and sooner or later he'll get back to you.

 

Did this happen all of a sudden, do you not check often, or did you just buy the car?

Have you tried to disconnect the battery for a few minutes to reset the entire system? If you did that, did you then drive the car at least a couple of minutes above 25 MPH?
